Dubbo Cycle Club president Matthew Gilbert said the junior titles, which Dubbo has hosted for about 20 years, had been a success once again.

“The event went really well, we had lots of riders come from all over the state,” he said.

“DCC has within it four members that are going to the Australian titles and that’s not including the seniors.

“Last year we were the recipient of about 36 national and state gold so a lot of those riders consider Dubbo as a club they’d like to come out and beat, we’re actually prepared to defend things like the Cliff Hazel Memorial.”

He was especially pleased the club had been able to retain the Cliff Hazel Memorial trophy.

He said it was in honour of “ a lovely guy and a very staunch member” of the club, who “gave so much”.
